    That doesn’t make any sense. Are you connecting mortgage payments to “getting money back” or something?

    In a non private ownership situation the government “owns” the housing and citizens contribute via taxes. (Scaled to their ability/income) No argument on the validity of that approach, just saying someone still “owns” everything, and the money spent isn’t just sitting around, waiting to come back

      who said non-private ownership? Landlords are not the only property owners, as much as they would like to be.

            You proposed getting money back. I discussed options of who you might hope to be getting money from, because it wasn’t clear from your comment

              yes I was referring to the mortgage situation of payments going towards equity. And then you move, the property sells, and the difference between how much you still owed and the sell price of the property goes to you.
